EU Commission releases updated standards list for EMC Directive

The Commission of the European Union (EU) has published an updated list of standards that can be used to demonstrate conformity with the essential requirements of the EU’s directive on electromagnetic compatibility (also known as the EMC Directive, 2004/108/EC).

The EMC Directive applies to “any apparatus or fixed installation.” and regulates the “ability of equipment to function satisfactorily…without introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to other equipment.”

The provisions of the EMC Directive do not apply to telecommunications terminal equipment, which are covered under the essential requirements of Directive 1999/5/EC (also known as the R&TTE Directive).

Precision Control in Semiconductor Wafer Lapping

Vitrek’s application note details how MTI’s Accumeasure™ uses non-contact, push-pull capacitance probes for real-time, sub-micron thickness monitoring during semiconductor wafer lapping—even in electrically noisy, ungrounded environments. Automated alerts prevent over-thinning, improving yield consistency, precision, and process safety.

The updated list of CEN, CENELEC and ETSI standards that can be used to demonstrate compliance with the EMC Directive was published on November 2010 in the Official Journal of the European Union, and replaces all previously published standards list for the Directive.

Read the complete list of standards used to demonstrate conformity with the essential requirements of the EU’s directive on electromagnetic compatibility (also known as the EMC Directive, 2004/108/EC).
